This topic will provide general info on a variety health and science related subjects, mirroring the interests of the CBR members.

People often complain they don’t have time to exercise or fit a work-out routine into their busy schedules, but a new study may throw that excuse out of the window. Researchers say just one minute of high intensity exercise results in similar health benefits as 45 minutes of moderate-intensity training.

Living systems rely on a dizzying variety of chemical reactions essential to development and survival. Most of these involve a specialized class of protein molecules--the enzymes. In a new study, scientists presents clever means of localizing and confining enzymes and the substrate molecules they bind with, speeding up reactions essential for life processes.

It is well documented that a healthy diet and exercise are key in cancer prevention and management, but the exact mechanism hasn’t been clear. Now, researchers have found an explanation in the tiny protective ends of chromosomes called telomeres.
